As a typical winter past time, four movies made it home from Blockbuster this past week. Number one would have to be:
The Duchess Kiera Knightly as the lead role brings the Duchess of Devonshire to life. With rich fashion and clever dialoge, it's a movie that won't leave you wanting more, except maybe a different life for the D of D. The costume's create a vision that even the yoga-pant-wearing-couch-potatos won't be able to get enough of. Ralph Fiennes is wonderfully hateful and the enticing Dominic Cooper also stars in...
Mamma Mia While never having seen the stage version, I've heard great things. The film was hopelessly not great. As a musician and musical buff, it pains me to say that the fast forward button was used multiple times during the 108 min. Sadly, it occured during ALL of Pierce Brosnan's numbers. Most the cast members were worth consideration. Pierce, Colin Firth, & Christine Baranski should stick to acting, they do it much better than singing.
In a word: The Duchess-wish I had seen it in Theaters. Mamma Mia-please never again...
